Decided to have lunch today at the Tan Hill Inn up on the Pennine Way link.

So a couple of shots with the SMC 15mm f/3.5 en route.

There is still snow around up there




Then down into Reeth













Very cold wind chill but great light.

As above Jim, welcome.

Thanks Martin,

I'd just fitted heated grips to the bike (Brunhilda) so warm hands were the order of the day. Feet are kept warm behind the cylinders and wearing several thin layers of clothing under a heavy motorcycle jacket and trousers helps.

One forgets just how "relaxed" the older Pentax's are in use compared to the recent models, even the time taken for the image to appear on the postage size screen on the "D" is long enough to build expectation.

Without a side by side comparison, a Polaroid may be quicker at showing an image.

I used the plastic FA J 18-35mm lens. A good combo that gives you time to think, as it sets the pace.

Rode to Whitby this morning to get some smoked salmon from Fortunes Kippers.

Hadn't used the *istD for a while so took it along.







Headed home the long way round via Pickering and Helmsley.







Cold wind, clear skies and a really good run out.

Well composed.

Another good set David. The first image would have been very hard on the eye with the yellow vertical and non complementary colours but works very well simply with having some one in the shot.

2nd image is a stand out shot for me Kris. That desturated "look back at you" background image seals the deal.

Agreed John. It also ma y be a smart marketing tactic to show how much better value the K-1 II is compared to the D850. The current level of buffer size and AF speed is probably not used in anger nor required by many photographers, so highlighting the much greater cost involved to have a FF high resolution body on the Nikon system.

I'm keen to see real world examples of the improved AF system and read positive feedback. The AF is higher on my list than buffer size.

Best regards

I don't use it and have never even tried it.

Best regards

All comments appreciated.

I've put it up here at 2048 link
